[0001] This invention relates to the high-speed extrusion coating of wire conductors with pigmented fluoropolymers.
[0002] Melt-processible fluoropolymers are widely used as insulation for conductors, i.e. wires. "Plenum cable" is one such use. Plenum cable is used for telephone, computer, and similar wiring in office buildings, schools, etc. Fluoropolymer coating on the wire makes a superior insulation because it is not flammable. A further advantage of fluoropolymers is their low dielectric constant, a desirable property in communications wire insulation.
[0003] Melt-processible fluoropolymers are applied to wire by melt extrusion on wire-coating equipment whose design is well-known to those skilled in the art. The wires are generally used in pairs, often called "twisted pairs", and to distinguish the paired wires, the insulation is colored. One wire of the pair is white, and the other is blue or red or another non-white color, so that not only may the paired wires be distinguished from one another, but also the twisted pairs may be distinguished from one another by the various colors of the non-white insulated wire. U.S. Pat. No. 5,789,466 describes white pigmentation of fluoropolymers using titanium dioxide (TiO2) coated with silane.
[0004] Wire coating is typically done at about 1500 ft/minute (7.6 m/s). This is referred to as the "line speed". The melt viscosity of the polymer is a factor that limits the line speed. As line speed is increased, a point is reached at which the appearance and quality of the coating begin to deteriorate. This deterioration shows up as surface roughness, variation in coating thickness, such as lumps of polymer at intervals along the wire, and defects in the insulating quality of the coating, known as "sparks".
[0005] For more efficient use of the wire coating equipment and greater productivity, it is desirable that line speeds be increased without loss of coating quality. In fact, the standards of quality of the insulation are higher than in the past because the demand for faster and more nearly error-free transmission is increasing. Polymers have been developed recently that can be extruded on wire at speeds of 2500 feet/minute (12.7 m/s), preferably 3000 feet/minute (15 m/s). However, white pigment traditionally used in fluoropolymers for wire coating does not perform well in high-speed extrusion, but gives insulation having unacceptable levels of lumps and sparks.
[0006] There is a need for white pigmented fluoropolymer compositions that can be extruded at high speed onto wire to give insulation with few or no lumps or sparks.
[0007] In one embodiment, this invention is a process for the coating of a conductor comprising melt extruding onto said conductor a blend comprised of
[0008] (a) melt-processible fluoropolymer having a flex life of greater than about 1000 cycles, and capable of being extruded by itself at at least about 2500 ft/min (12.7 m/s) and
[0009] (b) a pigment comprising titanium dioxide coated with one or more layers comprising oxides, or mixtures of oxides, of at least one of silicon and aluminum, said extruding being at a rate of at least about 2000 ft/min (10 m/s) to give a conductor with a coating having no more than about 10 lumps/135,000 ft (41,000 m) or no more than about 10 sparks/135,000 ft (41,000 m).
[0010] In a second embodiment, this invention is a composition capable of being melt-extruded onto a conductor at a rate of at least about 2000 ft/min (10 m/s) comprised of (a) melt-processible fluoropolymer having a flex life greater than about 1000 cycles, and capable of being extruded by itself at at least about 2500 ft/min (12.7 m/s) and (b) pigment comprising titanium dioxide coated with one or more layers comprising oxides, or mixtures of oxides, of at least one of silicon and aluminum.
[0011] The melt-processible fluoropolymer used in the present invention is that special class that is not only by itself capable of high speed extrusion, but which also exhibits excellent physical properties, characterized by high flex life. Thus, the melt-processible fluoropolymers of this invention are preferably comprised of at least one fluoromonomer, have melting points below about 320� C., and have melt flow rates (MFR) of about 15 g/10 min to 50 g/10 min, more preferably of about 20 g/10 mm to 40 g/10 min.
[0012] Fluoromonomers are monomers containing at least 35 wt % fluorine, preferably at least 50 wt % fluorine, that can be polymerized in the process of this invention include fluoroolefins having 2-10 carbon atoms, and fluorinated vinyl ethers of the formula CY2=CYOR or CY2=CYOR′OR wherein Y is H or F, and —R, and —R′— are independently completely-fluorinated or partially-fluorinated alkyl and alkylene groups containing 1-8 carbon atoms. Preferred —R groups contain 1-4 carbon atoms and are preferably perfluorinated. Preferred —R′— groups contain 2-4 carbon atoms and are preferably perfluorinated. Preferred perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ethers) (PAVE) are perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) (PPVE) and perfluoro(ethyl vinyl ether) (PEVE). More preferred PAVE is PEVE. Preferred fluoroolefins have 2-6 carbon atoms and include TFE, hexafluoropropylene (HFP), chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride (VF2), trifluoroethylene, hexafluoroisobutylene, and perfluorobutyl ethylene (PFBE). More preferred fluoroolefins are TFE and HFP.
[0013] The fluoropolymers of this invention are melt-processible. By the term "melt-processible" it is meant that the copolymer can be processed (i.e., fabricated into shaped articles such as films, fibers, tubes, wire coatings and the like) by conventional melt extruding means. The fluoropolymers are preferably copolymers, more preferably copolymers of TFE and of CTFE, most preferably copolymers of TFE. These may be copolymers of TFE and of CTFE with other fluoromonomers. They may also be copolymers of TFE and of CTFE with nonfluoromonomers, such as hydrocarbon monomers. Hydrocarbon monomers that copolymerize with some combinations of fluoromonomers include propylene and ethylene. The preferred hydrocarbon monomer is ethylene. By "copolymer" is meant a polymer made by polymerizing two or more monomers.
[0014] Examples of useful copolymers include the copolymers of TFE with HFP and/or perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ethers) such as PPVE or PEVE, copolymers of TFE with PMVE, and copolymers of TFE or CTFE with ethylene. Further examples include the copolymers of vinylidene fluoride with HFP, or with HFP and TFE. As implied above, copolymers may contain additional monomers beyond the fluoromonomers named. TFE/ethylene copolymers, for example, are most useful if they include additional monomers that introduce bulky side groups such as PFBE, HFP, PPVE or 2-trifluoromethyl-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene.
[0015] Preferred copolymers of TFE are copolymers of TFE with HFP, and of TFE with fluorinated vinyl ethers. More preferred are copolymers of TFE, HFP, and PAVE. Most preferred are copolymers of TFE, HFP, and PEVE.
[0016] The composition and molecular weight of the fluoropolymer used in the present invention is selected from the foregoing so that the fluoropolymer is not only capable of being extruded at high speed, but also has a good flex life, as measured by ASTM D2176. Capability of extrusion at a rate of at least about 2500 ft/min (12.7 m/s), preferably about 3000 ft/min (15 m/s) is achieved by the fluoropolymer preferably having a melt flow rate of about 15 g/10 min to 50 g/10 min, as measured according to ASTM D-1238T as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,380,618. The temperature and the weight used in the test depend upon the composition of the fluoropolymer.
[0017] Making such high melt flow rate fluoropolymers is not only a matter of reducing molecular weight. Because physical properties of polymers are strongly dependent upon molecular weight, simply reducing molecular weight (increasing melt flow rate) results in loss of properties such as flex life, which are important to applications such as wire insulation. To counteract this tendency, adjustments must be made to the composition of the fluoropolymer, for example by modifying the monomer ratios or altering the monomers used. Examples of specific fluoropolymers designed to have good physical properties, as measured by flex life, at low molecular weight, as measured by melt flow rate, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,677,404 and 5,703,185. These are copolymers of TFE, HFP, and PEVE. The HFP content of the copolymer of TFE, HFP, and PEVE is from about 6 wt. % to about 16 wt. %. Preferred HFP content is from about 6 wt. % to 10 wt. %. More preferred HFP content is from about 6 wt. % to about 8 wt. %. The PEVE content is from about 0.2 wt. % to about 4 wt. %. Preferred PEVE content is from about 1 wt. % to about 3 wt. %. More preferred PEVE content is from about 1.5 wt. % to about 2.5 wt. %. The flex life of these fluoropolymers (as measured according to ASTM D-2176) is greater than about 1000 cycles, preferably greater than about 2000 cycles, and more preferably greater than about 4000 cycles. One skilled in the art will recognize that other specific fluoropolymers can also be used that possess both high speed extrusion capability and high flex life.
[0018] TiO2 for pigment use in the present invention generally is in the rutile or anatase crystalline form. These forms are commonly made, respectively, by a chloride process or by a sulfate process, though the anatase form may be subsequently calcined to the rutile form. In the chloride process, TiCl4 is oxidized to TiO2. In the sulfate process, titanium-containing ore is dissolved in sulfuric acid and the resulting solution goes through a series of steps to yield TiO2. Both processes are described in greater detail in The Pigment Handbook, Vol. 1, 2nd ed., John Wiley & Sons, NY (1988). Certain finishing steps are commonly performed on the products of the foregoing processes, such as slurrying if not already a slurry, filtering, washing, drying, and milling with a fluid energy mill. Fluid energy milling involves introducing dry TiO2 pigment and a fluid, e.g., air or steam, into the outer portion of an inwardly spiraling vortex so as to convey the TiO2 at high velocity against the housing of the spiral vortex to fracture aggregates, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,427,451. Average TiO2 particle size can be in the range 5-1000 nm, but is usually in the range 150-400 nm for effective performance as a white pigment.
[0019] U.S. Pat. No. 5,789,466 discloses that fluoropolymer pigmented with silane-coated TiO2 pigment extrudes well onto a conductor at speeds up to about 1500 ft/minute (7.6 m/s). It is further disclosed that TiO2 with an oxide coating is not a satisfactory pigment for fluoropolymer under these extrusion conditions, giving insulation with many lumps and sparks. In the course of raising the extrusion wire-coating speeds into the range of 2000 to 3000 ft/min (10 to 15 m/s), it has been found that using fluoropolymer pigmented with the silane-coated TiO2 pigment yields wire insulation having faults of the type known as lumps and sparks. Furthermore, and surprisingly, it has been found that fluoropolymer pigmented with TiO2 that has been coated with layers of oxide, or mixtures of oxides, of silicon and aluminum can be extruded at these line speeds and give insulation that has few or no lumps and sparks. This is the reverse of the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 5,789,466. The oxide coatings described herein may be hydrated, and are sometimes described in the art as hydrous oxides, or oxyhydroxides.
[0020] The silica-coated TiO2 is made according to the method disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,885,366. These coatings are known in the art as "dense" coats (U.S. Pat. No. Re. 27,818).
[0021] Effective silica-coated TiO2 of this invention need not be "dense". U.S. Pat. No. 3,591,398 describes other silica coatings for TiO2.
[0022] TiO2 coated with alumina is effective as a pigment in fluoropolymers for high speed extrusion onto wire. U.S. Pat. No. 4,416,699 describes a method for making such a pigment. The alumina coating on the pigment may be treated with fluoride as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,460,655. These alumina coatings or those of the type disclosed in Re. 27,818 are described as amorphous. "Boehmite" type alumina coatings, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,523,810 are also effective. The amorphous alumina coatings are preferred over the boehmite alumina coatings.
[0023] The silica and alumina coated TiO2 of this invention may have a coating of silica on the TiO2 particle and also a coating of alumina. Preferably the TiO2 is coated with silica first, and then the alumina coating is applied over the silica coating. The silica is about 1 to about 20 wt. %, preferably about 1 to about 10 wt. %, and more preferably about 3 to about 6 wt. %. The alumina is about 1 to about 10 wt. %, preferably about 1 to about 5 wt. %, and more preferably at least about 3 wt. %. The weight ratio of alumina to silica is from about 1:10 to about 10:1, preferably from about 3:1 to about 1:3.
[0024] The silica-alumina coating of the TiO2 may be modified with boria as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,753,025.
[0025] The TiO2 pigment used in the present invention can also have other oxide coatings under or over the silica and/or alumina coatings. For example, TiO2 pigment coated with silica and then further coated with zirconium, hafnium, or titanium oxide coatings is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,859,109. TiO2 coated first with other oxides are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,200,375.
[0026] These coated pigments may be further treated with organic materials, sometimes referred to as dispersants, such as organosilane, according to the teachings of this invention. The organosilane has the formula SiR1R2R3R4. At least one R group is a non-hydrolyzable non-functional organic group and at least one R group is a hydrolyzable group selected from the group consisting of alkoxy, acetoxy, hydroxy or halide, the remaining R groups being selected from the group consisting of said non-hydrolyzable organic group and said hydrolyzable group. Silane coatings are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,562,990. The organic treatment may also be a polysiloxane, such as polydimethylsiloxane, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,810,305. Other organic and inorganic treatments are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,459,091. Silane and polysiloxane treatments are preferred. Where not specified, the treatments are present at a level of from about 0.1 to about 1% by weight.
[0027] The concentration of pigment in the fluoropolymer may be from about 0.01 to about 25 weight %, based on the combined weights of fluoropolymer and pigment.
[0028] It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that TiO2 pigment is used not only as a white colorant, but may also be mixed with colored inorganic or organic pigments or dyes to impart color. The disclosures of this invention include such combinations of other coloring agents with TiO2 pigment.
[0029] The wire coating of this invention is typically about 0.1 to about 40 mils (2.5 to 1000 μm) thick, preferably about 1 to about 20 mils (25 to 500 μm) thick, and more preferably about 2 to about 10 mils (50 to 250 μm) thick, and most preferably about 4 to about 7 mils (100 to 175 μm) thick.
[0030] It is desirable that wire coating have as few lumps and sparks as possible. Coated wire made according to the teachings of this invention have fewer than about 10 lumps/135,000 ft (41,000 m) and fewer than about 10 sparks/135,000 ft (41,000 m), preferably fewer than about 5 lumps /135,000 ft (41,000 m) and fewer than about 5 sparks/135,000 ft (41,000 m), and more preferably fewer than about 2 lumps/135,000 ft (41,000 m) and no more than about 2 sparks/135,000 ft (41,000 m).
[0031] The polymer used in the examples is of the type described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,677,404 and 5,700,889. The polymer is a terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), hexafluoropropylene (HFP), and perfluoro(ethyl vinyl ether) (PEVE). The polymer contains about 7 wt. % HFP and 2 wt. % PEVE, the balance being TFE. The melt flow rate (MFR) of the polymer is 30 g/10 min, measured according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test D-1238-52T, modified as follows: The cylinder, orifice and piston tip are made of a corrosion-resistant alloy, Stellite 19, made by Deloro Stellite Co, Goshen, Ind. USA. The 5.0 g sample is charged to the 9.53 mm (0.375 inch) inside diameter cylinder, which is maintained at 372� C.�1� C. Five minutes after the sample is charged to the cylinder, it is extruded through a 2.10 mm (0.0825 inch) diameter, 8.00 mm (0.315 inch) long square-edge orifice under a load (piston plus weight) of 5000 grams. The MFR is the observed extrusion rate in units of g/10 minutes.
[0032] The polymer flex life is measured according to ASTM D 2176 as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,703,185 and found to be greater than 2000 cycles.
[0033] TiO2 pigments used in the preparing compositions for the examples are:
[0034] Type 1—Rutile, 97% minimum TiO2, surface organic coating (0.3 wt % carbon), median particle size 0.22 μm via x-ray disc centrifuge, density of 4.2 g/ml.
[0035] Type 2—Rutile, 96% minimum TiO2, surface coating alumina (3.2 wt %)/organic (0.25 wt % carbon), median particle size 0.23 μm via x-ray disc centrifuge, density of 4.1 g/ml.
[0036] Type 3—Rutile, 89% minimum TiO2, surface coating silica (5.5 wt %)/alumina (3.3 wt %), median particle size 0.35 μm via x-ray disc centrifuge, density of 3.9 g/ml.
[0037] Six other types of pigment were evaluated. They, and the above types, are summarized in Table 1.

[0038] Concentrate Preparation
[0039] TiO2 pigment is dry-blended with pelletized polymer to yield blends with pigment concentration of about 5 wt %. The dry blends are fed to a 28 mm Kombiplast twin screw extruder and compounded at about 330� C. The extrudate is quenched with water and chopped into pellets. This is the melt-blended concentrate.
[0040] Melt flow properties of the melt-blended concentrates are summarized in Table 2.
TABLE 2 Pigment Type in Melt Flow Rate Blend Sample (g/10 min) 1 24.3 2 27.4 3 29.6 4 30.6 5 29.8 6 30.5 7 31.4 8 32.3 9 27.4
[0041] Melt blended concentrate is dry-blended with polymer in a ratio of 1:99 to obtain blends containing 500 ppm pigment. These blends are then used to extrude white insulation onto a AWG 24 solid copper conductor using a 45 mm diameter Nokia Maillefer single screw extruder (Concord, Ontario, Canada) having length/diameter of 30/1, equipped with a B&H Tool Co. (San Marcos, Calif. USA) 75 crosshead, a screw with mixing head, a 0.275 inch (7.00 mm) diameter die, and a 0.152 inch (3.86 mm) diameter guider tip. Melt temperature is about 790� F. (420� C.). Line speed is about 2000 ft/minute (10 m/s) and drawdown ratio is about 70/1. The extrudate is air cooled for about 40 ft (12 m), passed through a 48 foot (15 m) water bath, then traveled in air through a bead-chain spark tester operating at 2.5 kV to a takeup system. Resultant wire coating thickness is 0.007 inches (0.18 mm). At startup unpigmented polymer is fed to the extruder until the line is up to speed and running normally. Then the extruder feed is transitioned to the blend. Approximately 135,000 ft (41,000 m) of wire coated with each composition is produced. Additionally, a 90,000 foot (27,500 m) quantity of wire is produced with the natural fluoropolymer resin (no pigment). Results are summarized in Table 3.
[0042] The wire coating made using no pigment has no lumps and five sparks in 90,000 ft (27,500 m). The wire coating made from the composition containing alumina or alumina/silica coated pigments has no more than 3 lumps and 8 sparks. Most compositions have no lumps and 5 or fewer sparks. Wire coating from polyer pigmented with pigment not coated with oxide has up to 4 lumps and 87 sparks. These results show the benefit of fluoropolymer compositions containing alumina or alumina/silica coated pigments in high-speed extrusion for wire coating.
TABLE 3 Composition of TiO2 coating, wt. % based on combined Type TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 Sparks Lumps 1 No silica or alumina coating 87 2 2 3% Al2O3 5 0 3 6% SiO2/3% Al2O3 3 0 4 No silica or alumina coating 13 4 5 2.5% Al2O3 (Boehmite) 8 3 6 3% SiO2/3% Al2O3 (Boehmite) 5 1 7 11% SiO2 (porous)/5% Al2O3 3 0 8 3% SiO2/3% Al2O3 (Boehmite) 3 0 9 3% Al2O3 3 0 — Unpigmented polymer 5 0
[0043] The tests in the Example show that fluoropolymers pigmented with TiO2 coated with oxide, when melt-extruded onto a conductor, gives a wire coating with few defects.
[0044] At conditions similar to those Example 1, but using a 60 mm Nokia Mallaifer extruder, at a melt temperature of 776� F. (413� C.), die and tip temperatures of 745� F. (396� C.), polymer is extruded onto AWG 24 solid copper conductor at 3000 ft/min (15 m/s). When extrusion is proceeding normally, the extruder feed is transitioned to a blend containing 500 ppm of Type 3 pigment. The wire coating made is found to have no lumps and one spark in 315,000 ft (96,000 m) of coated conductor.

NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (WKYT) - One person is dead after a crash in Nicholasville. The crash happened at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Etter Drive just before 2 p.m. Monday.
Nicholasville Police say witnesses told them a white van ran a red light and hit a brown pickup. The pickup was trying to turn left from Etter Drive to U.S. 27 southbound. The white van was headed northbound on U.S. 27. Police say evidence on the road suggests the van tried to avoid the crash by braking.
First responders rushed the driver of the pickup to U.K. Hospital where he died. The driver of the van was taken to St. Joseph Jessamine for minor injuries. Police have not released the victims' names. The police department's collision reconstruction unit is investigating the crash.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) introduced the "Courtesy Critters" as part of its latest "Courtesy Counts" campaign. This is the fifth campaign in twelve years the agency launched as a friendly reminder to all of its customers of some things to keep in mind to ensure all riders have a pleasant and comfortable trip.This is the first time the campaign has used such a light, humor-based tone to get these important messages across. Using the voice of various animals related to the reminder is done to make riders smile while reinforcing public transit etiquette."Riding the T every day, I know how important it is to be respectful and kind to fellow passengers as well as operators," said MBTA GM Dr. Beverly Scott. "Sometimes we need to be reminded of the basics and hopefully it will make everyone's commute a more pleasant one."The suggestions given in the campaigns are based on common customer feedback and suggestions, such as sneezing into your elbow or giving up your seat for the elderly or disabled. The newest reminder — to be courteous to bus and train operators — has been added as the result of a recent string of abusive incidents targeting drivers. A cast of crabs is coming on board to remind riders to be nice to operators — and how much they appreciate it when you are.The crabs will join five other groups of animals to bring these friendly reminders to customers, including a group of pigs and piglets that have come together to remind riders not to hog a seat, especially from an elderly or disabled person who might need it more, and a posse of parrots that might squawk, but know not to do it on the phone in a crowded bus or train.Six different signs were designed in-house in the MBTA's Marketing Communications department & a total of 2,400 signs will be put up throughout the MBTA system, in both trains and buses.
The driver had reportedly been in four other accidents in the previous 18 months but was allowed to stay behind the wheel.
The agency is already providing enhanced routes and options through a unique 5-year partnership agreement with Megabus.com which began last year, to offer express travel to and from Miami and Orlando for as little as $1.
The 20th installment of the show featured more than 50 new exhibitors, 70-plus vehicles and plenty of information to inspire attendees.
A bipartisan measure has been introduced in the lower chamber that would push back the deadline for most railroads to install automated train technology until December 2018.
The new Plattsburgh, N.Y., building will be equipped of a welcoming customer area, 10 bus delivery spaces and offices to enable our customers to continue their professional activities during their stay.

Star Wars Imperial Assault Mod for ARMA 3 – Developer Diary #2
Here is the second of a series developer diaries covering behind the scenes information on progress of the Imperial Assault mod for ARMA 3. In this episode they cover off the response to the launch of package 1, package 2 contents and other team news. I love how Blue Harvest Interactive is a) putting out these videos and b) actually listening and interacting with the comments. It's good to see devs who care about what the people have to say. They are listening and replying and it shows. That level of care into the fans can really mean success in this business. This is not to say a dev should let the fans dictate everything about their creation but it is refreshing to see open dialogue and interaction like this. With that said, check out the video and let us know what you think of the mod. — For more information about the mod and what we plan to deliver, visit the mods website at http://blueharvest.wix.com/imperialas… Short excerpt from the TRAILER 60´ con David Muñoz Velazquez Thank You CG EXPOSE https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cgexpo… You can watch the full interview with David here: blueharvest.wix.com/imperialassault#!davidinterview/c6c7 Space Travel Spin into Void by Amitai Angor This video was created using content of Bohemia Interactive a.s.

The New Star Wars Tabletop RPG Is Just as Nerdy and Awesome as It Sounds
The new Star Wars Roleplaying Game by Fantasy Flight Games is a Star Wars lover's dream come true. It's similar to Dungeons and Dragons but it's in the Star Wars universe. Everything you could possibly want out of a Star Wars table top game can be found in this new game. From using the force to move large objects to epic lightsaber duels, your Star Wars fantasies will be fulfilled. If you aren't sure what a tabletop roleplaying game is, let's break this down: You and your pals sit at a table and you will use paper, pencils, maps, dice, and your imagination to play this amazing story. One player typically runs the game and then comes up with the adventure and the other player controls a single adventurer. Ever since 2012, Fantasy Flight Games has been doing well creating awesome RPG's that are set in the Star Wars universe. The first game they released was Star Wars: Edge of Empire and players were smugglers and scoundrels. After, they released Star Wars: Age of Rebellion, where players took on the role of rebels fighting against the empire. The newest release that is headed to stores is Star Wars: Force and Destiny, where players will be wannabe Jedi and Sith and then head out in the galaxy to use force for good and evil. You will have a few choices when you build your characters. You can choose between a human, Twi'lek, a Zabrak and much more. After you choose which character you want to be you can then dig into the world. You could be a warrior or maybe a mystic, the choice is yours. Some RPG's encourage tons of number crunching and managing data, Force and Destiny is completely based on the story. The best thing about the new game is that you will be able to look forward to many more Jedi adventures. Via Popular...Read More

Fanmade 'Star Wars' Oculus Rift Game Trailer
A company named Hammerhead VR has created a trailer for Star Wars VR, a game made for the Oculus Rift. Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset that is going to change the way we play video games in the future. The trailer was made with the Unreal Engine 4 and it looks great, even though it's not the most complex footage ever made. The first-person Star Wars experience is really what shines in this cool project. No matter if you are going up against Darth Vader in the carbon freezing chamber or leading the battle on the first Death Star, experiencing the excitement and action of Star Wars in a virtual reality environment would be amazing. The trailer does not show much activity with the characters but it was probably difficult to make the trailer with moving ships and environments while not having to worry about populating the game with digital people. It may even be one of those automatic experiences in the Oculus Rift that would be more of a video ride than an actual video game. Hammerhead VR did not give much information on the project, so we aren't sure if this is something they will be actively trying to get going or if they needed some online buzz just to get the attention of Disney and Lucasfilm. They have been careful to make sure that they don't get into trouble by stating "This is a non-profit, fan-made project and is in no way approved by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Lucasfilm Ltd, Walt Disney, or Twentieth Century Fox." A game like this will turn the Oculus Rift a must-have for gamers. However, since it's still early in on the project game companies are trying to figure out what the best way to use this new technology will be. The Oculus Rift also needs to be made more consumer friendly with its price before it could actually take off. Once the Oculus Rift does become popular, we are sure that valuable properties like Star Wars will have the amazing virtual reality experience that fans have been waiting for. What are your thoughts on Star Wars coming to the Oculus Rift? Let us know in the comments...Read More

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that it has initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial of ARX-02, a proprietary sublingual sufentanil NanoTab(TM) product candidate for cancer breakthrough pain control. The primary objective of this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study is assessment of safety, tolerability and efficacy of ARX-02 relative to placebo in cancer patients experiencing episodic breakthrough pain.
"We are pleased to have initiated the dosing of our first patient in this proof-of-concept study," states AcelRx Chief Executive Officer Thomas Schreck. "Developing a fastacting opioid with a shorter half-life than fentanyl for cancer patients who experience sudden breakthrough pain represents a significant step towards effectively treating pain while minimizing overall opioid exposure."
Pamela Palmer, MD, PHD, AcelRx Chief Medical Officer adds, "The pharmacokinetic profile of ARX-02 is optimal for this patient population. In contrast to fentanyl-based products, the highly consistent time to peak plasma concentration and plasma half-life of two to four hours produces a closer match of effective drug concentration with the breakthrough pain event and allows a high degree of safety if patients need to redose for a second breakthrough pain event."
About breakthrough cancer pain
Many patients with chronic cancer-related pain also experience episodes of severe pain that "breaks through" the regular pain medication. Typically the pain flare lasts approximately 15 - 60 minutes, and patients may experience several episodes per day. Currently, oral transmucosal fentanyl-based products are the only approved treatments for cancer breakthrough pain. These products have prolonged plasma half-lives that extend beyond four hours for most dosage strengths.

FINALLY! I got my hands on this when I saw it up for auction on Ebay for a relatively cheaper price. **Now, I know others may have a problem with ebay, but I find it perfectly fine as long as you make sure that the seller has good ratings and feedbacks. And plus, most likely you will find awesome deals/prices for these high end makeups.
Some background on my skin type. I am pretty oily, mostly on the t-zones, and just normal everywhere else. So as you may think, I was def. worried that this would make me look like a grease ball. Im also a MAC NC 35-40. I got this in the shade Stromoli, only because it has a yellow undertone to it, and I was afraid that Barcelona would come out too dark or even peachy on me. Id rather get a foundation that is lighter, and just be able to fix it up with some bronzer. That way, I can use it both in the summer and also winter.
I apply this foundation with my hands (sanitized), just so that I can warm up the foundation and allow it to blend in better with my skin. My initial reaction is, it honestly at first doesn't give me the 'glow', more of a satin-like finish, but after a couple of hours, instead of making me the grease ball look, the 'glow' that everyone talks about finally shows up, even with the 100 degrees weather outside, it managed to look nice and not greasy whatsoever. And with that, I definently find that this foundation gives me a natural look, as the Revlon Colorstay look cakey.
A little goes a long way, its definently buildable. I keep it pretty sheer, because I don't like the overly done face. Just as long as my skintone is evened out, Im okay with it.
I would def. repurchase it. Whether on Ebay or Nars, I wouldn't mind, because I def. think that this foundation is worth the money. The best part about it is that it doesn't have SPF, so when it comes to photographs, it doesn't give my face that pale mask-like look.
OH! And so far, no breakouts whatsoever. I've been using it for a couple days in a row, and so far, Im loving it!

Omg this product totally lived up to its hype! I'm NC30/35 and purchased the colour Punjab online; great match.
I normally use MAC Studio Fix Powder and was a little bit weary of trying this out because I do tend to get an oily t-zone; but this foundation is a-mazing!! It gives even coverage, very light and easy to work with, you will end up with such a nice, healthy glow - and if I do feel my face is looking too shiny I just dust on some of MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Powder (Medium) and it works perfectly.

This is my Holygrail foundation. I used to use flawless by Prescriptives(Tawny) until Prescriptives went out of business. Then I used Mac Studio Scupt(NC 44) which covered well but came off too easy and made me breakout.
I use Sheer Glow in Tahoe. It feels weightless on the skin but
covers so well and only a little bit is needed. I use this without powder. At the end of the day my makeup still looks great (8 + hours).
My skin is lighter in the fall/winter so I now use syracuse and my skin looks flawless.

I really like the coverage of this foundation, but I can't use it every day. Unless I'm very moisturized it does look a little dry and I break out easily so I try to stick with organic foundations like Tarte on a daily basis. I do use this though for nights out and special occasions. If my skin wasn't so sensitive I would definitely use it more often.

This foundation is by far the best I have ever owned.
It's so hard to find a foundation to match my skin, but this in deauville is a perfect match. My skin is acne prone and this foundation has medium coverage and does NOT break me out <3
I gave in to all the hype and paid $99AUD :(
But in my opinion is worth it 100%.
I always use my fingers to apply foundation but a stippling brush makes the foundation application flawless.
If you don't have this BUY IT!!!! :)

I have been trying to find the perfect foundation... I read the reviews here and really wanted to try this out. The company unfortunately did not have samples, and I refuse to buy before I try. I made the mistake of reading the ingredients, and one really stood out to me. Here's the ingredients.
All shades contain:
Aqua (Water), Cyclopentasiloxane, Butylene, Glycol, Glycerine, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/vinal Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Triethylhexanoin, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Dis-butydimethicone Polyglyceryl-3, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Sodium Glutamate, Sorbitan, Sesquiisostearate, 1-Methylhdantoin-2-imide, Phenoxyenthanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Polusilocone-2, Serralysin, Curcuma Longa, Glycuosyl Hesperidin, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Tocpherol, [+/- (may contain): CI 77891 (Titanium dioxide), CI 77492 (Iron oxides), CI 77491 (Iron oxides), CI 77499 (Iron oxides)].
So, the one that sticks out is Sodium Glutamate... Aka Monosodium Glutamate... AKA MSG... Not sure why they'd put that in there, but I certainly won't put it on my face! They say not to have too much MSG because it will break you out... Skip eating it, just rub some on your face! I tried getting samples from Sephora who didn't have any, once I found out it had MSG I mentioned it to them in an e-mail. They said that Korres Ginger & Vitamins has a similar finish and is supposed to be more natural, just an FYI, but I haven't checked out the ingredients in that fndtn yet. So, if you used this and broke out, that's probably why. I didn't check the rest of the ingredients after that, I was too put off by the MSG.

Apart from the fact that this foundation is quite pricey and could have a better lid.. this is actualy a good foundation!
Ive read so many mixed reviews about this and i wasnt sure what to beleive or expect.. the MUA at selfridges matched me so well and gave me great tips, he applied this with his finger and only used a small amount.. this was a perfect foundation covered the right amount, had a perfect finish and everything about it was so simple and perfect and the best thing was the fact that it actually looked like your own skin and farr from the words 'cakey' it has the perfect amount of coverage and evens skin tone yet it still allows your skin to breathe.. the consistency of this is not sheer and is definetly not heavy its the absolutly perfect balance (very liquidy).. its not a miracle product or anything like that but to me this is what 'foundation' is supposed to be like its perfect in everyway. I did read alot of reviews saying that this only applies properly with a MAC 109 so i brought one the same day as this.. but when the MUA applied with his fingers it looked flawless and lasted on me all afternoon into the night so i didnt need to use the brush =].. i think maybe the problem other reviewers may have is that they arent using moisturiser and primer.. but even if i did not use a primer this foundation still would look natural and well blended.. they must be doing something wrong?

Iv only owned this foundation for 3 days now so I probably shouldn't be reviewing this already, but I just couldn't help myself. I Love this foundation! I was in search for a summer foundation that was lighter in feel but medium coverage, and tried many that disappointed me. In former summers I had used the prescriptives flawless foundation. Seeing as how they are no longer selling prescriptives I set on my search for something new. In the winter I could get away with Revlon Colorstay but for summer I wanted a lighter feel. I tried MANY drugstore foundation but most broke me out like something terrible. Including the Neutrogena healthy skin makeup that everyone compared to Nars sheer glow.
Well I am hear to tell you the Nars sheer glow is MUCH better. I can see the comparison, but honestly the price difference is because the quality of Nars verses Neutrogena is huge. With the Nars you can get a much better coverage. I love that! Its also smooth and gives your skin a light glow without making your skin look oily. The staying power for me is pretty good. It last through a work day, whereas the Neutrogena was off in a couple hours. The best part I havn't noticed a breakout yet! So far so good! With the Neutrogena I think I broke out the same day I put it on! haha. I hope this product continues to amaze me!

I actually really like this foundation. I thought that my MAC studio fix fluid foundation was the best of the best. However, after trying this foundation I have been proven wrong. The coverage of this makeup is pretty good, giving a medium to full coverage level, depending on how much is applied and also never looks cakey. This makeup also gives you a semi matte/ somewhat dewy face, which I personally really enjoy. I do wish the lasting power was a little bit better. This does last for quite some time but not exactly all day. The color selection is pretty awesome as well. I wear the color Cadiz and its a perfect match! (As for reference I am a NC45 in the studio fix fluid). Overall a pretty greaaaat foundation!!! :)

love love love this foundation. I bought it a few months ago and whenever I wear it I got alot of compliments that my skin looks dewy and fresh. After trying a whole host of foundations to suit my oily skin this one has been the best. Although not intended for oiler skins mine seems to be fine with this I do get some shiny spots on very hot days but thats the case with any foundation for me. If you are looking for a dewy, natural and fresh faced look this foundation is the one. I usually layer this one as I do have some pigmentation left over from acne, my only wish is that Nars make a pump for this one as it can be super messy to use but you kind of work a way around it the more you use it.
They do finally make a pump for it! Its under tools on the website!

Dosing of JANUVIA
The recommended dose of JANUVIA is 100 mg once daily, with or without food, for all approved indications. No dosage adjustment is needed for patients with mild to moderate hepatic insufficiency or in patients with mild renal insufficiency (CrCl greater than or equal to 50 mL/min). To achieve plasma concentrations of JANUVIA similar to those in patients with normal renal function, lower dosages are recommended in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency as well as in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients requiring hemodialysis. For patients with moderate renal insufficiency (CrCl greater than or equal to 30 to less than 50 mL/min), the dose of JANUVIA is 50 mg once daily. For those with severe renal insufficiency (CrCl less than 30 mL/min) or with ESRD requiring dialysis, the dose of JANUVIA is 25 mg once daily. Because there is a need for dosage adjustment based upon renal function, assessment of renal function is recommended prior to initiation of JANUVIA and periodically thereafter.
Dosing of JANUMET
JANUMET should be given twice daily with meals, with gradual
dose escalation as needed to reduce the gastrointestinal (GI) side
effects due to metformin. In this formulation, the dose of
sitagliptin remains constant (100 mg daily) and is combined with
the two most widely prescribed doses of metformin (1000 mg daily or
2000 mg daily). The recommended starting dose of JANUMET for
patients not on prior metformin therapy and for those not
adequately controlled on sitagliptin is 50 mg sitagliptin and 500
mg metformin twice-daily with meals.
